German term

abgeleitet

German to English Science Mathematics & Statistics
Da SAR-Werte nur mit-tels eines aufwändigen Messverfahrens mit Hilfe von Phantomen bestimmt wer-den kann, verwendet man in vielen Fällen abgeleitete, gut messbare physikali-sche Größen, die elektrische und die magnetischen Feldstärke.

I guess the maths term to differentiate, but would that mean I use "differentiated"? or would "derived" also be acceptable?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Stephen Sadie

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Differentiate" has nothing to do with it here and would be wrong. Electric and magnetic field strength are derived quantities (their units being V/m and A/m, respectively).
